Welcome to the final instalment in our three-part series on becoming a f*cking badass.
In part one, we defined her. In part two, we uncovered what blocks her. And now in part three, we build her. But let me tell you something straight up: you don’t become a badass by doing more. You become her by learning to hold more.


In this EP, I share the three core capacities you must train if you want to become a woman who can lead, lift, and live a powerful AF life:



  • the ability to hold tension

  • the ability to hold energy

  • the ability to hold power


This is the anatomy of a badass.


I walk you through exactly how I train these traits inside Warrior School so you can build the body, the mind, and the systems to hold the life you want. Because badassery isn’t about doing more. It’s about building the woman who can hold more.


Let’s go.


KEY TAKEAWAYS:



  • You don’t become a badass by doing more. You become her by building the capacity to hold more.

  • There are three core capacities to train: tension, energy, and power.

  • Most women avoid tension because they don’t have the energy to hold it.

  • Execution > effort. The badass woman doesn’t do more reps—she does the right ones, with intention and control.

  • Being seen, taking responsibility, leading with power—these are all trainable. You just need the reps.

  • Everything you want requires structure, systems, and support. You can’t hold it alone.


POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE:



  • “You don’t become a badass by doing more. You become her by learning how to hold more.”

  • “Tension isn’t the problem. Tension is what builds you.”

  • “Most of you have mistaken exhaustion for effort. But burnout isn’t a badge of honour.”

  • “You want to feel powerful, but the moment you do, you panic. Because power means pressure.”

  • “A badass woman doesn't waste time questioning herself. She takes the damn action.”


THIS EPISODE IS FOR:



  • Women who are tired of doing more and getting nowhere

  • Anyone who wants to build the physical and mental capacity to hold a big, beautiful life

  • Coaches, leaders and high-achieving women who crave structure and strategy that actually works
